<div>Hello everyone!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I went through a very rough time last year where I lost my job, my friends, my kids, my car, and almost my life. Ever since I've been able to pick up the pieces and get back to living, I have been behind on the things I need to keep up on. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>As a result, I am being evicted in less than two weeks if I can not come up with 5,000$ to pay my back rent by the 20th of June. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I'm not sure where I'll be going next, but I just know I'll need the money to do so. I've tried getting loans, but no one will take me on anymore since my credit was destroyed, and I do not qualify for rental assistance. I do not want to lose my housing or I'll have to find someone to take my cat, and she's literally all I've had at this point.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If I reach my goal by the 20th I'll be putting the money directly into my rent in order to buy more time here.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Otherwise the money will likely go to a moving truck in order to keep the few things I need (my laptop, bed, and drum set)... everything else I have I either need to throw out or try and sell, and it hasn't been an easy go.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Please, any help will prevent me from being homeless, which will allow me to keep my cat, Ellie, who I've had since she was only a month old, and who it would break my heart to lose.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you can not afford to donate, please share this with as many people as possible.  I just need enough exposure to get a little help from all over and maybe I'll manage not to lose my livelihood, as I have a steady job and only need a chance to get back on my feet. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you.
